Clinical Interests

From very early on in her academic career, Dr. Schneider focused on interdisciplinary research with brain-behavior interactions and acquired broad knowledge in clinical psychology and medical neuroscience, with specific training and expertise in ADHD, learning disabilities, and fragile X spectrum disorders.

Being also a clinical psychologist, her other area of interest is intervention research. She completed a pilot study of a phytopharmacological intervention (Ginkgo biloba) in dyslexia, and a study about the efficacy of neurofeedback in ADHD. Currently, Dr. Schneider's main research interest is the association between genetic and brain abnormalities underlying the neuropsychopathology, behavioral, and psychiatric symptoms in individuals with the fragile X mutations. Her focus on a number of psychophysiological indicators, like EEG/ERP measures in fragile X spectrum disorders and ASD, prepulse inhibition, eye tracking, and biofeedback.
